Smells amazing! True to New Zealand Sauv Blanc! Love the taste. Has a tropical note to it!

Huge flavor, aromatic, big bouquet yet light and crisp. Smell of citrus fruits hit your nose before you take a sip.

Gulpable. Grapefruit. Musky. Grass. Great acid. Over delivers for $10. #wine #sauvignonblanc #nz #awatere

Sweet, but still crisp. Very easy to drink.

Bright, tart and fruity. Good with food, or solo.

Good lime and melon flavors. Refreshing and enjoyable; unlike some Marlborough sauv Blancs with heavy melon, I could drink plenty of this. Only real flaw is mid palate where the flavors seem to slightly clash (hard to explain). But finish is smooth, although not long.

Crisp and refreshing, fruity with a bit of an acidic taste at the end
